Anything else to do when replacing the oil pan?

[bleeble]

Mine's a later bike, an 85 GS700 to be specific. Yours may be different.

That's true, but it gives me an idea of what to look for. I probably wouldn't have thought about checking the strainer (didn't even know there was one :P).

I did check out the parts fiche of yours and mine. Quite a difference. Your bike has really got a lot more going on down there than mine does. You might as well check all your o-rings and washers to see if they should be replaced, since you've already got it apart.
